[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 588197, member: 6408"] Well, Shattered, you've gotten some advice here, good and maybe some not-so-good. If the company overpaid you on the grievance, if it can be proven, then that's just like getting overpaid on your payroll check, the company will go after you. It is unfortunate that you already spent all the money on bills. One thing that's been asked here: Were you aware of the overpayment when you were handed your money? Here, when I've won grievances, I was always told the amount or the time that the amount was going to cover. (On a side note, one time I even had to tell them how to pay me because they couldn't find any records and I keep all of mine. Another good reason to keep a log of all your days activities: punch-in time, punch-out time, load condition, stops, pickups, etc.) If you knew right away, you should have told them right away. On that, I've always pointed out an overage. In ALL cases, the supe or manager has said, "Forget it. It's too much hassle for us to fix". OK, but still, if it's a big number, I always hold out the overage just in case somebody over them gets antsy and wants to press it. We and others on here keep bad-mouthing the company about integrity. Well, do we set the example? How do YOU feel about taking the extra money? Are you able to live with yourself? Are you willing to fight something that looks unfightable? Are you gonna come back here in a year or more joining in with us in the never-ending rant about how the company's lost intergrity? Personally, I don't think it should be a matter of contract, it's a matter of what's right. If you can live with it, then so be it. :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
